Keto Chicken Noodle Soup

I was very surprised when I was praised and appreciated by the children for such a simple and common soup. Even more, I managed to impress my mother-in-law with this chicken soup! So, my conclusion is: the more I complicate things (this is for sour soups too), the result is the more likely to be unpredictable and not worth the effort. I came up with a chicken soup with a fine taste, very good for diets, for children, the elderly, people with digestive problems etc.

The base is clear chicken broth, of course, and you can later add to it anything you like - classic noodles, semolina dumplings, egg noodles (like omelette). My children like to add 1-2 tablespoons of canned sweet corn. I recommend choosing a slow-growing chicken, more organic. If you have resources from the country, even better!

Step 4

Let simmer for 1 hour - 1 hour and a half - until the meat is soft and well cooked.

I prefer to keep the lid on the pot ajar and I really pay attention not to boil it too hard, it just needs to simmer gently.

Step 5

After this time I turn off heat, close the lid well and let the soup with all the vegetables and meat infuse for another 1 hour - to release as much flavor and taste as possible.

You can as well skip this step and continue without.

Look at the color of our soup after an hour, I assure you that the taste is no less impressive!

Step 7

Now remove the meat and vegetables from the pot, you can strain the broth through a sieve to take away any bits of vegetables or meat.

I use the meat to make Chicken with Cream and the veggies for a Beef Salad, but most of the times I throw them away.

Crack the 5 eggs into a deep plate and beat well with a pinch of salt.

Heat well a medium-sized pan, grease with a little oil and pour 1 ladle at a time of the egg mixture.

We are making a kind of thin pancake-omelets.

Season with salt to taste, add chopped parsley. According to my grandmother's method, I also put a very finely chopped onion (it's optional, but it tastes good and the soup won't ferment :).

Let everything boil for another minute and turn off heat.
